Primary male genital lymphomas may appear rarely in testis, and exceptionally in the penis and prostate, but there is not previous evidence of a lymphoma arising from the corpora cavernosa. We report the first case in the literature of a primary diffuse cell B lymphoma of the corpora cavernosa presented with low urinary tract symptoms, perineal pain and palpable mass. Diagnosis was based on trucut biopsy, histopathological studies and computed tomographic images.
Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma confined
exclusively to body cavities without detectable tumor masses. The term
PEL-like is an entity similar to PEL in clinical presentation but
without relation to human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8). We report a case of
HHV8- and EBV-negative primary effusion-based lymphoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
